We strongly believe that guests should never pay a transaction fee when they're generously giving you cash gifts. Unfortunately, this is common on most registry sites. Some cash registry sites even justify their high fees by claiming they're lower than the taxes and gift wrapping costs associated with a traditional gift.

This may be true, but we still find it uncomfortable to charge someone to give you money. That's why Honeyfund is proud to be the only fee-free cash registry. With the Honeyfund Wallet, you choose how and when to redeem your honeyfunds. Couples can redeem funds via a combination of Prepaid Honeyfund Mastercard and over 300 popular gift card brands, all with NO FEES!\* You can also select to have your funds deposited into your PayPal or Venmo account from your Honeyfund Wallet.
